    Hi,
    I am planning to install Windows XP over Linpus finally an have sorted out most problems so far. However, could anyone tell me, if I have to format the SSD-drive beforehand or will that done during the XP-setup-process? if not: How can I format the drive with FAT 32 or NTFS?

    thanks and regards
    Christian

    The format process can be done on the XP installation.... you have options to remove partitions, format to fat32 or ntfs, etc etc... no need to preformat.
